I didn't really want to work out today. It wasn't my long lunch break day, and I didn't really want to be crunched for time, but this morning I packed my bag anyway and headed out the door with it. I'm really glad I swam!
The aquatic center in Irving near where I work is MUCH nicer than the Plano facility that I used before. The pool didn't have as many lap lanes, but that's okay since there aren't very many people there in the middle of the day. The locker rooms though.... WHOA! There are lockers that actually lock! Like, you insert a quarter and it locks, and then you get your quarter back when you put the key back in. And there are four private changing rooms with a toilet, sink, shower and bench in each one, instead of shower stalls, toilet stalls, and the rest is all community. They had hair dryers on the wall like a hotel and a counter with a big mirror out in the common section. Most importantly, it is actually ventilated!!! It's soooo hard to get dressed after you've been swimming hard and then keep sweating because it's just that humid in the locker room. I totally didn't have that issue today :-) Plus, they don't use so much chlorine that my nose burned when I walked in. It's a lot of chlorine still, but I like to be able to breathe! I think I'm going to rearrange my future swim workouts to Wednesdays and Fridays when I have my super long lunch break so that I can swim in Irving instead of Plano :-)
Sooo glad I went today! Gonna get my bike portion in later tonight at the gym. It'll be the first time I've used my member key! So excited :-)
